"If Paimon were here, she would definitely be binge-eating and drinking..."
"No... I can't let her appear here!"
Just as Lumine was thinking about what would happen if Paimon were here, she suddenly realized that Paimon absolutely could not be allowed to appear.
After all, she was wearing this kind of swimsuit right now; she couldn't let that fellow Paimon see her. She knew that if Paimon saw her like this, the character image she had maintained in Paimon's mind would collapse. Such a thing absolutely could not happen.
"What are you thinking about again? Lumine, it always feels like you're brooding over something all day long."
Just then, Wendy's voice came from the side. Looking over, Wendy was lying on a lounge chair, holding a dessert in her hand while looking at her.
"It's just... I was thinking about what Paimon is doing right now."
Thinking quickly, Lumine answered like this. Since she hadn't thought of a good excuse, she simply said she was thinking about Paimon. Of course, she wouldn't say exactly what about Paimon she was thinking.
"Paimon, huh? Isn't she out shopping with Miko?"
Seeming to recall something, Wendy continued, "Then do you want me to help you bring Paimon..."
"No need!"
Before Wendy could finish, Lumine had already rejected the offer. There was no helping it; she didn't want Paimon to come here right now.
However, she quickly realized she might have overreacted. So she continued, "Right now, Paimon is basically taking a commission from Miko. She shouldn't have free time. That fellow wants to earn some Mora herself to buy food."
After speaking, Lumine smiled to cover up her true objective.
"Is that so? No wonder she wasn't with you." Nodding, Wendy looked like she suddenly understood.
Hmm... Did Wendy already see Paimon with Miko?
At this moment, Lumine suddenly remembered what Wendy had just said. Then she asked, "So, Wendy, did you just see Miko and Paimon? And Makoto too?"
"Yes." Wendy nodded again. In fact, she wanted to say that she had asked Miko for the location of this hot spring.
"No wonder you knew Miko and Paimon were together."
Now Lumine understood. Actually, she wanted to ask what Paimon and Miko were doing, but she was worried that if she asked, Wendy would go directly to bring Paimon over, so Lumine ultimately didn't ask. Anyway, she could just ask Paimon when they went back; she didn't necessarily need to know right now.
"Speaking of which, should we just call Miko over? I wonder if she wants to soak in the hot spring?"
Suddenly, Wendy said this, startling Lumine quite a bit. Although she wore this swimsuit largely because of Miko, Lumine would still be shy if Miko actually saw her. Moreover, if Miko came, it meant Paimon would come too, and Makoto as well. There were getting to be more and more people.
"Then you go try," Kaito spoke up immediately.
"Okay."
After saying okay and changing her clothes back to their normal appearance, Wendy quickly disappeared from the spot, not giving Lumine any chance to say anything.
Why did she leave so fast? At least wait for me to say something...
Looking at the empty space in front of her, Lumine felt numb. Originally, she thought that if Wendy really was going to call Miko, she would ask Wendy to help change her swimsuit back to a one-piece first. The result was that before she could speak, Wendy had already gone to find Miko.
Sigh... What to do? Should I go change into a new set? But if I do that, Kaito will know I was lying just now...
Glancing at the door, Lumine thought a lot, but in the end, she didn't go to change.
Forget it... If they see, they see... Anyway, except for Kaito, everyone is a girl.
Withdrawing her gaze, Lumine silently cheered herself on in her heart. Of course, there was no other choice.
"What's wrong? Lumine. You're not thinking about Miko, are you? If you feel shy, I can make a different swimsuit for you."
Just when Lumine was feeling helpless, Kaito beside her suddenly said this.
"Ah? Uh... not really."
Not expecting Kaito to use this move, Lumine was immediately tempted. However, even so, she didn't agree immediately. Because she just thought of something: if Miko came, would she also wear a swimsuit similar to the one she was wearing now? In that case, she wouldn't need to be shy.
And there was Acheron or Makoto; maybe they would wear something like this too. So... She would just leave it like this!
"Is it really okay?" Continuing to look at Lumine, Kaito asked once more.
There was no helping it; he had seen Lumine's reaction just now, so he wanted to help her change her swimsuit. Anyway, he had this ability; any clothes would do. As for why he wanted to call Miko over, it was because he wanted to see what kind of swimsuit Miko would wear.
Although there was only this type of swimsuit here right now, he felt Miko should be able to generate a swimsuit on her body just like him. Anyway, Lumine was already thinking about calling Kiana and Wendy over, so it shouldn't be a problem for him to call Miko too. If Lumine hadn't done that just now, he definitely wouldn't have gone to call Miko.
"It's okay." Nodding vigorously, Lumine indicated it was fine.
And just as the two were communicating by the hot spring, on the other side, Wendy had already found Miko and the others.
"How is it? The current Inazuma..."
"What about Inazuma?"
Before Miko could finish speaking, someone had already picked up her words and asked this question.
"That is naturally... Hmm?"
Suddenly realizing something was wrong, Miko hurriedly looked in the direction the voice came from.
"You stinking brat, can you not appear and disappear like a ghost all day long?"
Looking at Wendy floating beside her, Miko was exasperated. There was no helping it; counting this time, this brat had already suddenly appeared beside her twice, and the interval wasn't even that long.
If she just appeared honestly in front of her, that would be one thing, but this brat always appeared suddenly and chimed in on what you were saying. It was really...
"Wendy is here again."
Hearing Miko's words, Paimon on the side also said this silently. Although Miko asked her to help carry things, she hadn't taken anything from Miko up to now. There was no helping it; these two were just window shopping and not buying anything. But this was actually perfect; she earned Mora easily. It was simply perfect.
